I am using a Dell Latitude D620 laptop with XP Pro. Randomly throughout the
day the shift key just locks up even though it
is not even being pressed down all the time. I am unable to release the
shift key from this state even though it is not pressed
down. This affects all applications that uses the shift key - Excel tries to
select a block of cells instead of a single cell and in
Explorer when you press on 1 file/folder, it selects every thing from the
1st file/folder in the list.
The laptop is brand new and is completely clean. There are no spillages so I
can't see that its a hardware issue, well not yet anyway
What would cause this and is there a quick way to release it?
